Re: Post your patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
The box came from a different truck, but original metal and paint all around on this one.

Re: Post your patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
I think my poor ‘69 spent the first 45 years in the sun. Serious question, can body parts that are so rough to the touch from surface rust be salvaged and painted successfully?

Re: Post your patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
Yes . It's a matter of nuetrilizing the rust either mechanically or chemically then epoxy prime followed up with high build primer and lots of blocking. Skim coat of polyester putty works well too.

Picked my 72 C10 up last week. I think someone was trying to build a C20 at some point because it has the emblems and 8 lug wheels.

Re: Post your patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
Are you sure it isn't a c-20? I would check the title and vin just to be sure.

Re: Post your patina trucks!!!!!! Real or fake post your weathered beauties!
Posted these on my other thread but I’m restoring the patina on my 68 Golden . Stripping off the respray with a straight razor paint comes of in sheets . The red oxide I hit with 800,1000 and 1500 . Then rotory buffer and Maquiars ultra cut compound, orbital with swirl remover. It’s labor intensive but I think the results will be worth it

A good patina is much better than a great paint job in my opinion love this thread
